Title Soft Triangle
Category Sidetable

Material Solid chestnut

Soft Triangle is a low three legged table assembled from small diameter wood pieces joined together to create a surface of apparent mass and solidity. The slightly carved tabletop sits somewhere between a triangle and a circle in form, a controlled geometric play that softens the rawness of the material. The overall impression is that of a chopping block refined through precise formal decisions.
The construction draws on advanced Japanese wood techniques, where multiple small wood elements are assembled without relying on large format lumber. The result is a table that reads as monolithic from a distance while revealing its careful detailing up close.
